Verse 1
G B7 *
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
Chorus
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Verse 2
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way
Chorus
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Bridge
Look like, nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Verse 3
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Chorus
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
